The shooting of a teenage boy at a southwest Houston apartment complex Saturday night appears to be accidential, authorities said.

Officers were called to the Bellaire Garden Apartment Homes, 6120 Bellaire, around 8 p.m. where they discovered a 16-year-old dead from a gunshot wound, police said. It appears that two teenagers were playing with a pistol when it went off and struck the victim once in the chest. He died at the scene, police said.
